This species is a near approach to L. Apnllonia, Westwood, 

 but differs in its smaller size, more pointed anterior wings, the 

 much smaller width of the marginal band of blue line-like mark- 

 ings on the upper surface of the same, and in other respects. The 

 description is made from a male, the only sex known.
